Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Sections 185 and 186 of the Companies Act 2013 concerning company loans. Section 185 specifically addresses loans to directors and related parties, outlining prohibitions and exceptions. Section 186 covers broader provisions for loans, guarantees, securities, and investments made by companies, including restrictions on multi-layered investments and loans to entities other than directors.
Sec 185 is loan to director where it is mention no company shall give loan to director or whom the director is interested. But there are some exceptions. and sec 186 is loan and investment by companies where a company shall not make investment through 2layers of investment companies. Investment company means any company whose principle business is acquisition of share debenture or securities.
186(2) No company can give directly or indirectly give any loan, guarantee or security to a person or other body corporate or make any investment in the securities of any other body corporate exceeding the limit mention. so yes it mention loan other then director right.
